History Funny / FTLFasterThanLight

* Events where your crew die are not funny... unless you have the cloning bay, in which case they learn a valuable lesson.
* One event has a ship of Slugs ask for your help in fixing their oxygen generation unit. Normally you get the option of either helping them or ignoring them, and if you help them then either being boarded or losing a crew member. However, if you have a Mantis crew you get a special choice that results in: "Once on board, it becomes clear that nothing is wrong with their O2 system. Almost expecting this, your Mantis calmly responds to the trap. Once a couple of the Slugs have been spread across the walls of their ship, the rest surrender."

* Those times when enemy slavers teleport on to your ship...only to be ripped apart by your maxed-combat-training Mantises. [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/1282 You almost feel bad for them.]]

* You can encounter a space station that's currently having trouble containing a fire. If you send in a Rockman or a Repair Drone, you can put out the fire, no problem, and the station will even give you an augment for it after explaining that its automated fire suppressor went haywire. Guess what augment you can get from this event if you have the Advanced Edition content enabled?

* The Federation Cruiser Type C layout. It comes with two Zoltans, a human, and a Mantis, as well as a level 2 clonebay and a teleporter, but no weapons or drones. How do you fight? Teleport the Zoltans over to the enemy, have them fight until they explode, then clone them and send the clones.

* [[http://www.reddit.com/r/ftlgame/comments/17aptb/bizarro_mantis_b/ Someone]] has attempted a Mantis B run [[SelfImposedChallenge with an all-Engi crew]]. Yes, that includes the boarding party. Guess which side wins? [[spoiler:Not the Rebels.]]

* Webcomic/PennyArcade's [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2014/04/28/faster-than-litigation comic]]. You've done this, don't lie!

* If your crew dies during the Tutorial level, the game sarcastically replies ''"[[EpicFail Somehow you've died during the introduction training exercise.]] Feel free to try again but this doesn't bode well for your mission."''

* In Abandoned Sectors, the newly discovered Lanius are taking apart the debris fields. One of their surrender texts states that they use their limited knowledge of human culture to convey their meaning. They wave around white flags WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes' style.

* "Send the crew to help immediately! [[GiantSpider Giant alien spiders]] are [[SeriousBusiness no joke]]."

Even today, that crew of Engi have eyes like no other. Deep inside, these Engi burn bright red, betraying the one emotion they did manage to develop...hate.''

* "Holy crap! A weapon just floating in space!"

* Sometimes you'll find Auto-Scouts in the asteroid field...equipped with ''no shields.'' If you have enough shielding (and Defense drones if they have missile launchers) to render their weapons useless, you can pretty much sit back and laugh while the Auto-Scout explodes without any effort on your part.

* One event while in the Slug nebula is facing off with "the dreaded pirate, Captain Nights." He then asks you if you've heard of him, if his name strikes fear in your heart. Your response? [[LittleNo "No."]] Just "No."
